A Durham College Diploma can earn you credit toward a university degree. University admissions policies and transfer agreements between Durham College and a number of universities facilitate university admission for Durham graduates from specific programs by giving credit for college study. Graduates may receive credit for several courses or for a year or more toward a university degree. This is detailed, by program, on the Durham College Transfer Guide.
Durham College endeavours to ensure the accuracy of each transfer opportunity. However, from time to time, changes may occur in program offerings, admission requirements and transfer credit granted by the universities. Interested students are encouraged to consult with the admissions office of the receiving institution.
Additional pathway opportunities and information on collaborative programs, articulation agreements and credit transfers between Ontario universities and colleges is available on the Ontario College University Transfer Guide website at www.ocutg.on.ca.
